A PLENTY OF EVERYTHING
A Nice Little Boarding House on
the West Side.
To the Editor of the Globe.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Our house is a conglomeration of
boarding house and hotel. and is stu.
ated on the West side. If anybody
wishes to enjoy life. he ought to come
and live with us. We have enough to
eat. if we do not want to eat too much.
We also have anything we wish, if we
don't wish for more than we get, and of
pleasure we have a lot Here is one kind:
1t certainly is a pleasure to come home
after days labor and find the landlord
eulOgizing his ability to do up the town.
or hearing him tell some other drunkard
that he will let his fist fly. or swearing
at the help or at his wife, or curse
some unlucky customer that may
happen to come in, or telling
strong coffee, to pay extra for the same.
These are all items that will be pleas
ure to anybody, and it will cost'only the
small sum of 81 per week. do not see
how people can give so much chin mu-
sic for SO little pay, bed bugs thrown in,
and the absence of water, towel, soap
and other appurtenanceS,O of course wash
dish is not required when you have no
water. 1 do not see why people are not
satisfied, the world would get along a
great deal better if the people were more
pleasant. If You hear of any more of
them kickers l hope you will send them
over here to enjoy themselves.
for the pleasures are great
and plentiful. Our landlord
has been indulging red eye for two
weeks and the house is there yet, but if
he keeps on I am afraid that he will not
be there: mean the landlord, not the
house. In the meantime do not know
whether the house is running the land
lord or the landlord the house, but we
don't care, we have plenty, even of
bedbugS. Satisfactorily yours,

AN OLD FASHIONED YANK.
He is Satisfied With Victua1s
LandIady and All.
To the Editor of the Globe

To the Editor of the Globe.
1t has often been said that there are
two sides to every question, and we
could not help thinking this true when
we read your Boarding House Hash"
last Sunday morning. If what is there
recorded is fair representation of st.
Paul boarding houses the impression is a
as much difference in boarding
houses as there is in anybody, we
dare not cliticise the report of your cor
respondent, although somewhat dreary.
Now, as | am stranger in st. Paul and
my experience is so very different, l
wish to give little aid to this question.
1t was said many years ago Life is
what we make it." 1t most certainly
throws little responsibility, at least,
on both parties. But for the board
ing house fare on our street;
For breakfast-With two kinds of meat,
potatoes, good bread and butter, tea OF
coffee well made, answers anybody for
solid meal for business life. Dinner
Two kinds of meat, from three to four
kinds of vegetables, two kinds of pie OF
pudding and fruit of some kind, makes
a bill of fare that answers me, at least.
Supper-Cold meat or eggs, or both, if
ordered, good bread and butter or
hot rolls, with always som kind
of sauce, does not go bad, and
the dining-room always clean and neat.
table linen and napkins in perfect Or
der, also our dining-rOom girl is one of
the quietest, unassuming yet always
ready persons you would wish to see.
The cook must be the embodiment of
perfection, Judging from the looks, taste
and smell of the victrlals as they come
upon the table. But when you go
with me to the sleeping apartments
you will be constrained to say truly
they are always in order EVERYTHING
clean, and as to bed fellows you will
have none unless you get one. About
our mistress, would like to give you
description of her but as she is widow,
l fear it will not do, fearing if her mer-
its were fully known, all the widowers
in ST. Paul would be on tiptoe and
bother her to death, for we understand
she is not in the market. Being an old
fashioned Yankee from York state, per
hapS we have not been West long
enough to learn the art of fault finding,
so we still look on the bright side of the
boarding house question. YASK.

A Boarder Tells a Tale Which
Leaves One in Doubt as to
Whether He Is Happy or Other
wise.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Ours is not one of your ordinary, typi-
ical boarding houses. 1t is typical i'm
that we have ''spells" of high living,
only to be followed by menu that St.
Anthony hill policeman would laugh
you to scOrn for looking upon. 1t is
houses in the makeup of the family, the
landlady having two daughters. But
there the similarity ends, for both are
pretty and young-which is directly the
opposite of what is generally the case
and, oh! we gods, how grieye to tell it,
they are both spoken for. Pretty girls
that know how to keep house generally
are.
The aforesaid odd combination is To-
Gated on Summit avenue, and not
many blocks from st. Peter nor Rice.
Our cuisine is, On the whole, pretty
fair, but sometimes it goes ON strike,
and, when it does, and the landlady
takes hand herself. the boarders gem
orally know it. We have too many
types of character here, some of which
are decidedly interesting. We have
the too-tOo girl, and the sedate old girl;
and some wretch was profane enough
to remark, on the advent not long since
of a new delegation of boarderS, that we
were going to start kindergarten.
But, bless you, the dear little things
are so cute and sweet that the man who
failed to fall in love with them should
be stamped as a cruSty old bachelor,
and forever tabooed by all fond young
mammas who so lovingly dote
on their little pets. One type
of character which is altogether
too numerous around our humble hearth
is the young man who is the ''freSh'
arrival-''freSh" in more ways than one
who takes it for granted that boarding
at the same house conferS upon him the
privilege of addressing any lady at will,
regardless to him, apparently of the use
less fOrmality of an introduction. He
has read Bunyon'S pilgrim Progress
and is a regular reader of Puck, and
consequently what he don't know about
the arts and sciences is, I'M his opinion,
scarcely worth learning-though it
would make several large books There
are number of other Interesting feat
ures about our boarding house that L
should like to both ''cuSS" and discuss;
but the unsympathetic public might be-
come too well informed as to our do
nestle relations, which think ought to
be held sacred. So, ''excuse me, I'll
tell you no more" ''YERITAS."

stands upon the street corners. The
cheapest and probably the least eatable
fruit Is sold at the street-cOrner
stands, with the exception of one or two
like those along East Third street. The
proprietOrs of the stands along Third
street are pretty well established and
may be found year after year. Among
them and the little stOrekeepers seems
to be a common understanding as to
what the price of fruit shall be. Pears
and peaches are set down at -four for
25 cents" Now, none of these shrewd
poolers expect to see any pedestrian
purchase four pears at time, SO each

ting the cunning swarthy immigrant
from the banks of the Tiber 40 cents for
four or S1.20 dozen-a pretty good
price by the way. The fact is if the
aforesaid peaches and pears were sold
at cents each it would still be a very
profitable business and the price reason
able. But there are several curious WAYS
among the average vendor of doubling
his profits at the expense of the un2
sophisticated buyer. CT J.
